Many speak the truth when they say that they despise riches, but they mean the riches possessed by others.

Riches do not delight us so much with their possession, as torment us with their loss.

Riches get their value from the mind of the possessor; they are blessings to those who know how to use them, and curses to those who do not.

The reason that a good citizen does not use such destructive means to become wealthier is that, if everyone did so, we would all become poorer from the mutual destructiveness.

If you are kept in ignorance of the true way and permit yourself to rely upon and be guided by the opinion of imperfect man, you can never gain the riches that will bring you peace and lasting happiness.

The greatest wealth is to live content with little, for there is never want where the mind is satisfied.

False riches, consisting of money, houses and lands, acquired by selfish means at cost to others and thereafter used selfishly, are almost always used for the oppression of other persons.

To be able to give away riches is mandatory if you wish to possess them. This is the only way that you will be truly rich.

We do not want riches, we want peace and love.

Many men are contemptuous of riches; few can give them away.
